My eyebrows are ruined

[Anonymous]

So I left my house today for the first time in months to get a lash tint/brow tweeze. I haven't had one in a long time because of covid, and I didn't want to attempt to do it by myself at home. I'm hopeless with these things. I was so excited to finally get this done again. It's a small thing, but it makes me feel pretty. Almost every day for the past 5 months or so I've woken up and felt ugly when I looked at myself in the mirror so I was really excited to get back to my usual self.

Well, the only esthetician that works at the salon now tweezed my eyebrows into oblivion the last time I saw her so I didn't want to see her again. Since she's the only one there now I decided I'd really emphasize that I only wanted them cleaned up a little and it should be fine. BIG MISTAKE. I said about 3-4 different times that I didn't want to lose brow thickness, she didn't even need to mess with the front of the brow, to please just clean up my stray hairs. "Oh, girl, I know. Trust me, I've had my brows tweezed too much before," were her words as she hacked into my brows. I could feel her eventually starting to pluck from the front like I told her not to, but I was so shocked that someone could be that daft after I told her not 5 seconds earlier NOT TO DO THAT!!! I didn't know what to say, I just sat there in shock. Of course, I look horrible now. I immediately came home and started crying.

Will they ever grow back? This is the second time she's plucked them all to hell. I don't want to look like this forever, and I hate the way I look using makeup to fill in my brows. Please tell me how to fix this 😞

Don’t worry! I know the feeling! I recently plucked/shaved way too much off my own brows, like I had no brow tail! It will grow back I promise you ! I love the dip brow pomade from ABH as it is long lasting and easy to shape your brow and makes it look very natural! Honestly no one even noticed my terrible brow shaping job after I applied makeup! I always set them with a clear brow gel as well !

they will absolutely grow back. it would be better to just let them grow out and practice tweezing them on your own. i've definitely over-tweezed my own brows, and i needed to let them grow back out before i could start styling again. it's unfortunate. you can also go to the brow bar at ulta; most of the employees there are really good with brows and you can ask them what to do. 🙂
